"Animus has an Internet-wide,
en-submission policy and has
;eived manuscripts from all
sr," says Dr. Peddle. "The edito-
Iteam picks specific philosophi-
[ themes for each volume and
ites the essays of well-known
lolars - philosophers, historians,
ologians, classicists and profes-
s of literature. We've had con-
)utors from scholars affiliated
with Harvard, Cambridge, the
University of Australia, Cornell,
McGill and the University of
Toronto, just to name a few."
Though it's an internationally
known journal, it's received little
attention at Memorial University.
That's something Dr. Peddle
would like to change.
"The Internet is a relatively
new medium for journals," he
says. "But we're going into our
seventh edition this fall. It's listed
in libraries all over the world as a
notable resource. In fact, Animus
was the first professional philosophical journal on the Net in
Canada."
Quoting Harper s, Dr. Peddle
notes that on average, articles in
academic journals are read by a
small audience of only five people.
"Well, according to last year's
statistics, Animus regularly had
between 300 and 500 hits a day,"
he says. "Plus we have more than
1,000 subscribers internationally -
about two-thirds from readers in
the U.S. and Canada, and the
remainder in 62 other countries."
For now, Animus can be found
at www.mun.ca/animus. By Dec.
30 the journal will have completed
its move to www.swgc.mun.ca/ani-
mus. For more information about
the journal, contact Dr. Peddle at
(709) 637-6200 ext. 6395.
By all accounts the new Alumni Tribute Awards — part of Celebrate Memorial — were a great success for everyone
involved including (L-R) awards chair Dr. Linda Inkpen and recipients Eric Jerrett, Heather Billou, Dr. Wayne Ludlow,
and Sara Sexton. President Axel Meisen also took part in the celebration. (Missing from photo Dr. R. Bruce Aylward).

wrote women's stories of sexual violence.
My telephone rang — it was a friend advising me to
turn on the TV. I listened in disbelief and I began to
cry," explained Lori Yetman, Sexual Harassment
Advisor at Memorial University, and co-ordinator of
this year's commemorative vigil of the Montreal
Massacre.
Early next month, Memorial University will
gather to remember, once again,
the tragic loss of 14 female engineering students, honouring, as
well, Canada's National Day of
Remembrance and Action to End
Violence Against Women.

Open to the public, this year's commemoration
will take place at 6:30 p.m. in room EN-2006 of
Memorial's Engineering building.
"We must gather, as women and men, when it's
safe," stated Ms. Yetman, "to challenge the sexism,
racism, and heterosexism on behalf of those of us
who cannot — the ones who may be more vulnerable
or less powerful."

been some level of cultural support
for the kinds of attitudes that
inspired one man to terminate the
lives of 14 women," said Ms. Yetman. "It is this cultural support —
this climate — that I hear described
in the stories shared with me by
both men and women."
The annual vigil will highlight
the sharing of such stories, referred
to as the December Monologues,
along with a variety of Memorial's
own talent. "A candlelight procession, music, dedications, and guest-
speaker Dr. Axel Meisen, Memorial University's president and vice-
chancellor, will all help us to
remember the lives and legacies of
these women," added Ms. Yetman.
^~~^i BC Radio announced Nov. 25 the creation of The CBC j
Radio Peter Gzowski Internships, with Memorial Univer- !
%w^y sity named one of four participating universities across the j
country.
"Memorial University is honoured to be chosen to participate in
this wonderful initiative which celebrates the life of Peter Gzowski,"
said Robert Shea, director of Career Development and Experiential
Learning, Office of Student Affairs and Services. "Dr. Gzowski's
commitment to literacy, the spoken and written word, is endemic of
the primary tenets upon which Memorial University is based. This
experience will undoubtedly be a life-altering experience for the
chosen student, and will build on our successful partnership with
CBC Radio - Newfoundland and Labrador Region in providing
career-related opportunities for our students."
The CBC Radio Peter Gzowski Internships are aimed at university students in their final year in four different universities across
the country: Trent University in Peterborough, Simon Fraser Univer-
